I haven't actually watched an episode of Age of Youth yet, but based on the 4 things you said you were looking for you could check these out:
Ode to Joy (all of the women are grown ups though, no one's in university/college, but the friendship between them is awesome and there are a lot of things they deal and struggle with, also there will eventually be a season 2 for it)
Because It's The First Time (it's about 6 20-year-olds, most of them go to university, it's very realistic imo and also short, so it's easy to finish it)
Reply 1988 (I only just started it, so I can only guess what's gonna happen further, but it's about several 18? year old friends from the same neighbourhood, their friendship and obviously relationships, which are still to come for me)
Since you're looking for a drama about college/university, even though it probably is not that similar to Age of Youth, but the college life is shown very clearly, I also recommend Cheese in the Trap for you (don't be put off about the comments about the ending; personally, I am picky about endings I enjoy and I was very much okay with it).
